Place 1 slice of cake in each of 2 large goblets or 1 1/4-cup ramekins. Brush each slice with 1/4 of Kahlúa mixture. Spread half of cheese mixture over each cake slice. Top each with 1 1/2 slices cake, pressing to fit. Brush each with half of remaining Kahlúa mixture. Sift cocoa over desserts. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 1 day.

A bit too dry, so I would suggest doubling the liqueur mixture so as to soak the cake.

I would make this again with a few change-ups...I can't find lady fingers (I live in the middle of nowhere, I can't even buy a prepared pound cake at the store), so I have to either make lady fingers myself or make a pound cake...so I'd make the lady fingers. It's true, the real recipe isn't that difficult and it does not take too long, so it makes sense to use the real recipe. Oh, and I have to drive two hours for mascarpone, so it's a sad thing that I usually HAVE to use cream cheese *sigh* If you've never had the real thing, you'd probably like this recipe very well.

Quick or not---don't waste your time on this one!! If you like tiramisu, you won't like this!
I don't know how you can call it tiramisu without marscapone and ladyfingers. For a real delight, use the Kahlua Tiramisu recipe from this site.

Your guests that don't like tiramisu liked this because it wasn't tiramisu! If you used marscarpone anyway, why not just go the whole hog and make real tiramisu? It really takes no more than half an hour, plus time to chill.

Tiramisu in less than 20 minutes, prep time included. I also layered it in one dish, like a trfle. I also used mascarpone cheese instead of cream cheese. I also mixed equal parts chilled coffee with Kahlua with a couple teaspoons of sugar(or to taste)--instead of the instant coffee granules. And also mixed equal parts cocoa powder with sugar. Very good. It was a hit with dinner company! And they said they usually don't like tiramisu, but they liked this. I also made it one time with a thin layer of Hershey's chocolate syrup instead of the cocoa powder. Yummy!!
